This photograph has often come up in discussion with RD whilst at the pub, so I thought it was time to put it up! 66708 was involved in a fatality at Winchester whilst working an engineers train northbound. Obviously the driver could not continue with the train north, but as luck would have it a GBRf loco convoy with 66707, 66705 + 66706 was just heading south at the time of the incident. The convoy was stuck behind a 442 which was waiting under Andover Rd bridge to get into Winchester station. Once this was clear the convoy ran down into the station and reversed back into Baltic Siding, where the locos remained for the afternoon so the driver could take 66708 forward.
